Kansas City Chiefs · 2026 Draft · Pick #9 · (6-11)

Top 5 Positional Needs:

Projection: Jermod McCoy (CB, Tennessee)

Projection: Keldric Faulk (EDGE, Auburn)

Why: Acquired from Rams in the Trent McDuffie trade; Chris Jones insurance and perfect Spagnuolo fit.

Projection: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (S, Toledo)

Why: Injects speed and range into a middle-of-pack Chiefs safety room.
